Standardized Patient Team Experience  

This session is a hands – on experience with multiple health care professions depending on program availability (medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, and physical therapy). Students practice the ways a health care team might function to effectively and efficiently care for a hospitalized patient/client who has had a stroke. IPE student teams determine how to work together to take a history and physical and develop an admission or discharge plan for a standardized patient. The experience is then debriefed by an IPE faculty team and the standardized patient. The goal for this session is to develop an integrated, interprofessional admission or discharge plan that reflects the roles and strengths of each member of the care team as well as the needs o f the patient. This experience was initiated in 2009 with medicine and nursing students and has since been expanded and adapted based on feedback from participants and the curriculum team.
